After studies of Fine Arts at Münster and München Arts Academies and of German Literature at the University of Münster, she came to study Dance and Choreography at the SNDO at the Theaterschool, AHK in Amsterdam where she graduated in 1997. Her work is situated on the threshold of dance, performance and visual arts, she works from the conviction that all fixed categorizations should be destabilized. She refers in her contemporary work often also to the history of dance and theatre. She engages in works with amateurs and professionals, old and young. Her performances are composed with a high sense for musicality, and suffused with subtle humor.

Her latest works include: 5: ECHO - in collaboration with ICKamsterdam, LIEFDESVERKLARING - in collaboration with Magne van den Berg and fABULEUS, 4: STILL LIFE, SHIROKURO- a collaboration with concert pianist Tomoko Mukaiyama and lighting designer Jean Kalman, ANTIGONE - a collaboration with puppettheatermaker Ulrike Quade, 3: THE GARDEN, 2: DIALOGUE WITH LUCINDA, 1: SONGS and in December 2010 her first short dance film had its premiere during the Cinedans Festival: DIAMOND DANCERS - a collaborative project with the filmmakers Helena Muskens & Quirine Racké. She was awarded the Dioraphte-price for SHIROKURO and the prestigious VSCD Mimeprize for her work 1: SONGS (2009). Several of her works have been selected to be presented at the yearly Nederlandse Dansdagen, a platform for the best works of the season: Several species of small furry animals… (2005), LES SYLPHIDES (2009), 2: DIALOGUE WITH LUCINDA (2010, PIECE (2011)and SHIROKURO (2014).
